Morning Amanda ! Hope your headache is better .

Thank you I went to the doctor earlier and she said I have a viral illness going around. She gave me some cough medicine and told me to stay out of work until I can go without a fever for 24 hours without taking medicine for it.

Well tragedy diverted. Was headed to bed after a long day tweaking the cabinets. We wanted them done right. Walked past my smaller tanks on way to bed. I noticed my 16-17 year olds clownfish's tank was about 4-5 gallons low! I top them off manually every morning. Water was on the floor. Behind the tanks that are side by side. The HOB filter was leaking water! Yikes.

Quickly called for Rocky to help. I unplugged the filter. He took it to the sink to check it out. Clogged. Since the 20 gallon was now low I pulled it out away from the wall. Started getting the water up. Pulled everything up I could. Small rugs were saturated.
Was able to top off their tank from a quarantine tank I had set up recently. So that was a plus. Threw towels and rugs in wash. Refilled the quarantine tank.
Will finish going through everything in the morning. These are my oldest fish.
Now on the hunt for a new tank. Planning on putting everything from the 40 and 20 together in one tank. No HOB anything. Looking for a foot print similar to the 40 breeder. Only a little longer.

Thank goodness you caught this! Fish that old have been well loved. You guys stopped a tragedy from happening

Nice save Shelley.

Maybe a 60 Breeder or a 75, both the same footprint as a 40 Breeder but a foot longer? I'm considering one as well. I use a Tunze in tank skimmer and filter on my 40 Breeder. They work well.

Good morning Smorgasbord! I hope you all feel great today! I'm enjoying a beautiful day on the back bay looking at the beautiful cars.

Good morning John, pictures of the one that you drive home!

Steve, could you post under white lights?

As you know I will be tank hunting. I am so ocd it will take me awhile. Not a fan of the softer glass either. I look at it and scratches appear!

I'm not a low-iron glass fan either. My only low-iron tank is a 15 gallon Waterbox. I scratched it badly after a year or so. I went back to acrylic and green glass tanks. At least an acrylic the scratches can usually be repaired and green glass never scratches without really trying. Low-iron just shows your stupidity to anyone that notices for as long as you own it.
